When I watched I Finished A Video Game’s 7+ hour Castlevania retrospective, I had to know how it was made. So I reached out to the creator, Matt, and invited him to the show. We talk about both the history of Castlevania and the daunting task of chronicling the entire franchise.

Correction:
There is a Saturn core in development for the MiSTer. I was thinking of the Dreamcast. I guess that’s what I get for never owning a Sega console.
